Austrias Life Science Hot-Spot

ÖGMBT is a platform for scientific exchange and diversity by connecting researchers, students and corporates.

 

The scientific get-to-gether presented current research in the key-disciplines:

Lipid Metabolism, Disorders and Cancer – Ageing and Neurodegeneration – Enzymes and Nanomachines –
Secretion Systems – Infectious Diseases and Novel Treatments – Translational Oncology – Microbiota Today –
Systems and Synthetic Biology – Single Molecules and Membranes – Satellite Meeting by Biophysics Austria

 

The range and quality of bioscientific research was reflected by the top speakers that took stage throughout the meeting, including the following invited speakers:

David Berry Vienna, AT	Jürgen Eckel Düsseldorf, DE	Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz Bethesda, US
Tim Clausen Vienna, AT	Elisabeth Grohmann Berlin, DE	Satchin Panda La Jolla, US

The 8th ÖGMBT Annual Meeting focused on Young Scientists in Austria. With the dedicated session “Young Scientist Austria” extraordinary young scientists from the DK Enzymology, DK Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease and DK MOLIN were invited to present their research topics.
Young aspiring scientists and their extraordinary research received awards in four different categories: PhD-Awards, Research Awards, Poster- and Talk Awards

Here is the video of the winners of the ÖGMBT Research and PhD-Awards Wolfgang Gruber (Uni Salzburg), Hanna Koch (Universität Wien) & Daniel Kracher (BOKU).
